The Three-Day Effect

This week, Chief Victory Officer, Eric Guy, is joined by Chief Adventure Officer Caleb Kolb for a conversation about an often-overlooked secret to clarity, creativity, and resilience: the healing power of nature. From the science behind the “Three-Day Effect” to life-changing moments on some of America’s toughest hikes, Eric and Caleb share how stepping away from the noise and into nature helps us reset, reconnect, and reimagine what’s possible. Together, they explore why discomfort is essential for growth, how shared challenges build unshakable trust, and why sometimes the best way to move forward is to simply unplug. 🔌

🌄 Discomfort Builds Resilience: Voluntary discomfort, whether through adventure or challenge, is the training ground for mental toughness and personal breakthroughs.

💬 Healing in Community: When we let our guards down and share real experiences, we build deep, authentic bonds that last long after the trail ends.
